The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is a state law enforcement agency of the U.S. state of California. The CHP has patrol jurisdiction over all California highways and are also known as the state police. They also have jurisdiction over city roads, and have the right to conduct law enforcement procedures there.
In addition to its highway patrol duties, the CHP also provides other services including protecting state buildings and facilities (most notably the California State Capitol) and guarding state officials. The CHP also works with municipal and federal law enforcement agencies, providing assistance in investigations, patrol and other aspects of law enforcement.
CHP members are known slangily as Chippies, or more rarely, CHiPs.
California Highway Patrol in "The Breaking of Nations"[]
During her term as governor of California, Nicole Yoshida militarized the California Highway Patrol in response to the increasingly authoritarian reign of President Mike Pence. Ali Musavi, a Muslim who was to the political left of Yoshida, was the head of the CHP.[1]
In 2031, California joined Oregon and Washington in seceding from the United States and forming the country of Pacifica. The CHP continued to serve as Yoshida's bodyguards when she became acting president of Pacifica. Myron Flegenheim was the head of her security.[2]
A CHP sergeant named Eric Mendoza was Yoshida's driver during the battle of Vacaville[3] and the liberation of Camp Calexico.[4]
